Philip Lopate on Film Criticism Right Now (and Monday)

There’s a great conversation going on right now about film criticism at WYNC. Philip Lopate is touting his new book “American Movie Critics: From the Silents Until Now,” discussing everyone from J. Hoberman and Jonathan Rosenbaum to Pauline Kael and Manohla Dargis. On Monday, Lopate — together with critics Kent Jones, Andrew Sarris, J. Hoberman, and Stanley Kauffmann — will show Godard’s Contempt and discuss the state of film criticism at The Walter Reade Theater at Lincoln Center.
